In cash terms the typical PR4 3 home went from £50,000 in 1995 to £264,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 143%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2023, and today's median remains roughly 23% under it: a 2023 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the PR4 3 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2003 (+43.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−19.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +1.5% | −0.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.1% | −4.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.0% | −0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −0.6% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
How many homes change hands in PR4 3
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
PR4 3 recorded 49 sales in the last twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 137 sales a year recently, against 154 a year before 2008. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
The rental side of PR4 3
For renting purposes PR4 3 sits in Fylde. The ONS average private rent there is £858 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £601 a month here against £1,385 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Fylde
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£858 a month is £10,296 a year, which against the £264,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.9%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.
What kind of market PR4 3 is
Only 49 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes PR4 3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is roughly flat over five years in cash but down 20% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.
On the market in PR4 today

These cover the whole PR4 district, not just PR4 3: live asking prices are collected per district.
43% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.

The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
What another bedroom costs in PR
Real sold prices by size across the PR area, straight from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £243,000 | £325,000 (+34%) | £475,000 (+46%) | £654,500 (+38%) |
| Semi-detached | £164,975 | £189,950 (+15%) | £228,000 (+20%) | £295,000 (+29%) | £410,000 (+39%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
